Portable toilet rentals company in Arnold, CA? How to Keep Them Clean? As an employer, OSHA requires you to maintain and implement a cleaning and servicing schedule. Luckily, this isn’t as hard as it may sound. The easiest way to take care of construction site toilet maintenance is to hire your rental company for cleaning services. They will come out to your job site and clean the toilets based on your maintenance schedule. By the way, cleaning frequency is based on how much traffic the toilets see. We wouldn’t recommend anything less than once a week cleaning. During a scheduled maintenance trip, your rental company will pump the sewage from the toilets and refresh the blue liquid in the tank. They will clean and sanitize all surfaces including walls, restock toilet paper, refill hand sanitizer, and re-up on the restroom deodorizer.
We are also looking for signs of any problems or potential problems. During routine service we measure and check the solids. We will forecast when the next pumping is needed. After the work is performed we will report to you all of our findings and any recommendations. After maintenance is performed on all engineered systems, Foothill Sanitary Septic completes the manufacturer’s paperwork that gets sent to them and the owner. Doing this keeps your septic system compliant for any warranties that might still be available. It also develops a history for your system showing proper care & maintenance has been provided by a certified provider. Keeping good records is recommended by Foothill Sanitary Septic because if you ever sell your property, you have a record to show a buyer.
Septic cleaning products are available to break up blockages in the pipes. Tree roots are a common blockage in older septic systems. Root killers, available at local hardware stores, can be used routinely to help prevent their spread. A pump tank is controlled by either control floats or timer controls. It also requires electricity to operate so limit water use if there is a power outage. If the capacity in the tank is too high or too low or a malfunction occurs, most systems are equipped with a red alert alarm (located on the top of the control panel) to warn the homeowner. Limit water use through a couple of pump cycles (10-15 hours) to see if the alarm goes out on its own. If the red light goes out, the system is working properly. If not, continue to limit water use and consult a professional septic service provider for advice. Read additional info on go.
Even professionals with 30 years in the business can get too tied up in ‘how we’ve always done it’ to realize simple improvements will make a huge difference in performance and longevity. What follows is a general guide to the average Individual Sewage Disposal System ISDS guidelines (code) in most of the country. Your septic system site plan is typically drawn right on top of your property survey showing the septic tank ‘setbacks’ with tank 5-10 feet from the house, the leach field at least 20 feet from the house, at least 100 feet away from wells and streams, 25 feet away from dry gulches, and 10 feet away from the property lines. Or whatever the local regulatory officials require, so always check with the county first for minimum setbacks.

Don’t build any structures on top of the drain field. Drain fields work because of evaporation. Any structures, including raised decking, will inhibit the rate of evaporation and slow or even stop the process. Don’t allow excess water to enter the drain field. Runoff from roof drains, sump pumps, and other rainwater drainage systems should be directed away from the drain field. Excess water in the drain field can slow down and even stop the wastewater treatment process. If your septic system is giving off an unpleasant odor or you see visible sewage in the drain field, you’ll know right away there is a septic problem. However, there are a few other signs that many people don’t immediately recognize as a problem. Read even more information on https://www.foothillsanitary.com/.
